Equibase has a free scratch free, don't they? (Which only exists because of HANA, I believe.)

First off, why would P1+P2... = 2? Seems like you'd have probabilities for each horse to come in first OR second (one probability for that), and that the whole field for each leg would sum to 1 as...

Yep, they are everywhere. Every PUDDLE you see in Florida should be considered to have a gator in it -- any depression on a lawn where rainwater forms, etc they will go and sit in there. (They will...

It is very strange. There is no way to keep the gators out, and they should know that. They don't start out big, after all -- somebody could have dumped a baby gator in there for all we know --...

Sportech is the tote machine. If you took it back to where it came from and the machines are switched out and it is over a year, you're probably out the money. I'd go back and try once more but...
